Well I didn’t have to scroll down the comments too far to see three people that had bought these and had numerous problems with them! There is no review as accurate as the previous owner reviews! Thanks for keeping it honest for those that are shopping RVs!! I always read the comments!!!

[@billredding2000]

Sadly, you're right: Thor is one of the major American RV Crap-Makers. This poor guy has got to show it in it's best light though as it's his job as a salesperson (and really, he can't advise/comment on the OTHER "subjective" things buyers need to know). Still, although I really DO like a Class A this size, AND would put it at (or near!) the top of my "RV Short List," I wish someone ELSE made them -- a quality RV maker/brand such as Pleasure-Way, Leisure Travel Vans for 2 examples (notice these are Canadian RV maker -- US makers are terrible) -- but not Thor. Or Forest River. Even Winnebago is just "average quality," which isn't saying much. What's WRONG with them? American RVs should be among the BEST! They're not, and probably even UK/EU RVs are better made. Such a great/compact design...but such poor quality/durability (materials used/fit & finish "workmanship")...not sure about the OTHER 50% (besides the product) everyone needs to consider: How Thor treats customers AFTER the sale, especially if a RV dealer is causing them grief. -- BR

I bought a new Vegas and traded it in after 1 year and 5,000 miles. It was in the shop for 9 weeks for a misaligned front cap and then 5 weeks for a propane tank leak. I don’t know about the Goliath engine but I assure you it is not a joy or fun to drive. Our micro wave fell out of the wall as we went down the road, the bathroom door did as well. Changing the oil was a pain in the butt and the engine battery was worse. The interior was dark due to more walls than windows. All in all it was okay for an entry level Class A. We went to a Travato and loved it for 5 years but boy did I miss the basement storage of the Vegas.

Bill that was the best review I have ever seen and everything you handled was with extreme care in and out of the rv. You have very good skills and some of the reviewers on you tube should take lessons from you. Thanks for a thorough job.....Joe

Thanks Joe!

[@user22162]

Thank you very much for a nice review!

[@kentuckylucky5762]

Just curious, what is the mileage on this one...and what is the mpg estimate not hauling and 1/2 capacity wt????

[@ronhinchliffe8160]

I bought one of these in 2019. Sold it after 18 months of absolute misery. $70k loss, but couldn't look at it anymore, let alone TRY to drive it!

[@chuckwalla2967]

List out all your issues.

[@ronhinchliffe8160]

@@chuckwalla2967 I really don't want to relive that painfully experience, so briefly, here are some bullet points. I suppose I should have known what was coming the day I picked up the unit. I was asked by the salesman if I had any trips planned. I said yes, heading out from Toronto south through the eastern states, across to New Mexico and up and around and back to Toronto. Maybe 7500 miles. With a straight face, he asked me if I was sure I wanted to do that first time out with a new coach??? About the second time I used the wipers they decided to drop down below the windshield onto the body on the downstroke. The wiper motors were replaced twice by the dealership. I had a loud engine noise "ticking" between 2500-3500 rpm. This was looked at by the dealership maybe 5 times over the first year and found nothing. I finally took it to a Ford dealership in a different city who located the problem. 2 brake lines were routed too close to the engine and at a certain rpm, rubbed against the engine. One had just started to leak, the other was showing wear. My exterior TV was replaced 3 times due to a poor seal. My house water pump leaked and flooded the coach. My slide motor failed twice an was replaced. The elevated bed above the drivers seat totally failed in the down position, rendering the vehicle undriveable until I took it completely off. The right side of the coach receptacles stopped working, ground issues. The left side of the coach interior lights stopped working, ground issues. Hanger bar in closet simply fell off, screws pulled through the 1/4" plywood, go figure. Numerous other electrical and plumbing issues. The last straw was a water leak behind the kitchen cupboards. When I attempted to find the leak, I found a whole pile of mold. I dropped it back to the dealership. They pulled the kitchen out and fixed the leak. When I went to pick up the coach, the cupboards had not been replaced. Apparently, the $3000 extended warranty covered the actual leak, not everything that happened "downstrean" from the leak. There are many more smaller issues, but I feel my blood pressure elevating just retelling some of these issues. I finally signed off the ownership at the dealership, told them if they had any conscience at all they'd send me a check, and I left. A few weeks later I received a cheque for about a third of what I paid for it 18 months earlier.

[@Chuck-gd9rr]

Thanks for the heads up, as painful as it was.

[@corinne8906]

@@ronhinchliffe8160 Yikes, sounds like there needs to be more ways to keep from having all these issues becoming a pain. Sorry, you had to go through all that, their warranty and other things that went on should've been longer. Sadly, it is a concern, if they treat customers less important, in my impression I am in second thoughts. Warranty in my opinion should be for everything. Shame on them for putting you through the ordeal. Makes a customer very hestitant.

Isn’t it amazing that what happens in my favourite country in the world now starts to happen in the uk in around 0 to 20 years later I had the distinct privilege of being after I asked I was given a tour a fantastic rv dealer. The whole staff were so nice and extremely professional but the best was when the sales colleagues were the same if you spent 60 or a hundred and 60 thousand so USA keep up the great work

[@corinne8906]

I like this one, the only thing I am not to keen on is the Bathroom, liek to see a bit of a difference with that set up. Thank You

[@timandnatd]

FYI, that Solar charge controller is already pretty much maxed out. It says 12 volts at 10 amps. That's 120 watts.(volts times amps) If it has a 100 watt panel on it....that's it pretty much.

I saw the price 140K. That's ridiculous. The mpg is nothing to brag about 😉

[@billhurtado3616]

It's priced at 103,551. I agree, 140K would be ridiculous.

[@chuckwalla2967]

How much negative market adjustment is there on these things now that we're in recession and people are not buying? I'm thinking $30-$50K discount is reasonable.

[@ruiguimaraes5085]

The table was also packed in the closet. Are there two kinds of tables? This is what I call an excellent presentation. Well, I would never call You at 2 a.m. unless I managed to find a way of showing up in your dreams.

[@TheRubeeRose]

nice but I'm looking to live in one of these. I hate that the bed setup is at the loss of living space. You spend more time awake then you do asleep. I think the config needs a few changes as it seems that there's not much space available for a 24' vehicle. And just how long do you spend in a bathroom? 10 hours? nah, this should have the least space of all areas. I do like the kitchen space. meh about gas.

[@brucebannerman6848]

Only one door?What if forced of rosd and tipped on its right side?

[@billhurtado3616]

All RV's have provisions for that. Escape windows identified by red release handles.

Godzilla engine sir not Goliath and where I rent them there are three that need new engines under 7000 miles that new engine is dropping lifters and that’s a major major problem. The V10 blew out spark plugs and I thought great, new motor to fix that. Well no, not great

Do NOT buy a Thor RV !! I have 2023 Thor Axis 24.1 first two weeks,,,, 3 chassis and 20 coach problems. At Ford for four months and took three months to get appointment. Lemon Law suit to have them but it back.

[@billhurtado3616]

I'm not a Thor dealer but in their defense I would ask you this; have you ever seen an RV, any brand that didn't have a considerable number of issues when purchased new? Nor have I because it is disingenuous to believe that such a thing exists. In my humble opinion, this may be exactly why one might consider purchasing a 1 year old pre-owned RV; someone else has already worked out the inevitable issues from the onset.

[@maxbarko8717]

Buy a German one, high quality control before being sold. US RVs suck.

[@kennethshear]

We also purchased a Thor . Only thing that didn’t give us problems was the Cat engine.. Thor is Junk with poor workmanship.. all rvs are for that matter especially when employees are paid per piece.

[@maxbarko8717]

Watch videos about RV production and compare German vs US. And also the materials used. It is a shame what crap is made in USA.

The windshield will be a monster to replace if damaged. Great walk around and details, but that is one ugly RV., a curtain for a shower is the worst, they could have used a corner shower with the wrap around door. Making use of space was not accomplished here. I've seen B's with better floor plans and use of space.

Walked through a 2023 Vegas. Complete junk, I was shocked. Put in cheapest fans that will do zero. No exhaust fan above kitchen burners. Is Thor Kidding, who does not put an exhaust above cooking area? Every inch of this thing is cheap plastic. The shower base is just terribke, like standing on a sponge. Not to mention the road clearance is pathetic. Did not drive it, but no way this thing will not fall apart down the road. I would absolutely say buyer beware. Anyone who says different does not know even average build quality.
